  1. 1. Exploring patterns in risk factors for bark beetle attack during outbreaks triggered by drought stress with harvester data on attacked trees: A case study in Southeastern Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Nikolaos Kouskoulis; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Forest ecosystems; Bark beetle outbreak; Southeastern Sweden; Predisposing factors; Triggering factors; Drought stress; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Analysis of Rainfall-runoff processes at different scales in two mountainous, Arctic catchments in northern Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Författare :June Johansson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Arctic hydrology; Catchment response parameters; Water height recession analysis; Permafrost presence; Glacier presence;

    Sammanfattning : The hydrological regime in Arctic catchments is being altered as an effect of climate change. To be able to project future changes in Arctic hydrology and hydrogeology, the mechanisms and drivers affecting runoff generation needs to be understood. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Assessing the Impacts of Climate Change and Water Scarcity on Agricultural Practices in Kenya -Implications for Adaptation Strategies

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Sanjina Rahi Oishee; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Climate Change; Agriculture; Temperature; Precipitation; Water Scarcity; Agro-Climatic Zone; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Like other African countries, Kenya’ economy and food security is heavily dependent on agriculture. Climate change has led to variability in temperature and precipitation, and extreme weather events such as droughts and floods, all of which can significantly impact crop productivity and food security in the long-term.

  5. 4. The Impacts of Climate Change on the Livelihoods of Small-Scale Traders in Zambia: A Case Study of Cross-Border Traders in Kazungula District

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Graduate School

    Författare :Saidi Victor Phiri; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Vulnerability; climate change; cross-border trader; and livelihoods; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change is one of the global problems that the world is facing today. Previous studies have shown that climate change has negatively affected the livelihoods of the vulnerable population. However, understanding climate change is usually influenced by how it affects a person’s livelihood. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Influence of surface water availability on the distribution of White Rhinoceros in central Greater Kruger

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Författare :Julie Mauguiere; [2022]
    Nyckelord :White Rhinoceros; Ceratotherium simum; water provisioning; artificial water; ecological processes; habitat selection; spatial ecology; landscape use; KNP; APNR; SAWC;

    Sammanfattning : The population of white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum) is now declining in the Kruger National Park (KNP) in South Africa due to the intense poaching crisis ongoing since the early 2000s. The need for an efficient conservation effort has never been greater and requires a better understanding of white rhinoceros distribution in the landscape. LÄS MER
